190521 panel

 

By looking at the 2018 elections and the 2020 municipal elections, this panel discusses how religious narratives and conservatism reached a crescendo in Brazilian politics. We invite speakers to discuss cases where religion and faith were effectively used to create in-group cohesion, denying certain groups rights or credibility.

Speakers:

Amy Erica Smith (Iowa State)

Ana Carolina Evangelista (FGV/ISER)

David Simbsler (EHESS)

Ariel Goldstein (Conicet) 

Chair: David Lehmann (University of Cambridge)
